• Do you understand

  
  

  When I say

  
  

  “I love you”

  
  

   

  
  

  do you realize it means

  
  

  I am never going to change that

  
  

  Do you know that

  
  

  I’m never giving up

  
  

  That I’ll never leave

  
  

  I’ll never replace you

  
  

   

  
  

  Do you understand

  
  

  When I say

  
  

  “You are enough”

  
  

   

  
  

  do you realize it means

  
  

  I accept you

  
  

  As you are

  
  

  That you please me

  
  

  And thrill my heart

  
  

  Even with seeing

  
  

  All your faults

  
  

   

  
  

  Do you know that

  
  

  I see you as perfect

  
  

  And that I will

  
  

  Cheer every victory you have

  
  

  But they are not necessary

  
  

  Or a way of earning my love

  
  

   

  
  

  You already have it

  
  

  There is no way to take more

  
  

  But we can learn it’s value

  
  

  Worth and depth

  
  

  As time passes

  
  

   

  
  

  Do you understand

  
  

  When I say

  
  

  “You are beautiful”

  
  

   

  
  

  do you realize it means

  
  

  there is something I see

  
  

  when I look at you

  
  

  that delights me

  
  

  in a way no one else can

  
  

   

  
  

  do you know that

  
  

  I don’t want to look away

  
  

  That I don’t compare you

  
  

  To any one else

  
  

  Or think you need to

  
  

  Change a thing

  
  

   

  
  

  Do you understand

  
  

  When I say

  
  

  “I forgive you”

  
  

   

  
  

  do you realize it means

  
  

  I’ve taken the pain

  
  

  You have caused

  
  

  I felt it

  
  

  And resolved it

  
  

  I paid the price

  
  

  Of your choices

  
  

  And now it is covered

  
  

  Now you are clean and free

  
  

  And have the power

  
  

  To forgive yourself

  
  

  To forgive others

  
  

   

  
  

  Do you know that

  
  

  I won’t use your past

  
  

  Against you

  
  

  To get my way

  
  

  To shame you into doing right

  
  

   

  
  

  Do you understand

  
  

  When I say

  
  

  “I am proud of you”

  
  

   

  
  

  do your realize it means

  
  

  I boast about you to others

  
  

  That you make me smile

  
  

  That I know you are

  
  

  Going to do something amazing

  
  

  Each day you open your eyes

  
  

   

  
  

  Do you understand

  
  

  When I say

  
  

  “I believe in you”

  
  

   

  
  

  do you realize it means

  
  

  that even if it looks

  
  

  like you’ve fallen

  
  

  and won’t get up

  
  

  I look at you and see

  
  

  A miracle

  
  

  Of what will be

  
  

   

  
  

  Do you know that

  
  

  I connect my name with yours

  
  

  That you represent me

  
  

  To people who don’t

  
  

  Even know me

  
  

   

  
  

  Do you understand

  
  

  When I say

  
  

  “I have a plan for you”

  
  

   

  
  

  Do you realize it means

  
  

  I not only took the time

  
  

  To know you completely

  
  

  But I found the thing that will

  
  

  Complete you more than

  
  

  Any other thing

  
  

  And I planned it for you

  
  

  I made a way for you

  
  

  To have it

  
  

  To do it

  
  

  To be it
